race day attire

so here it is.

my marathon outfit.

i had really wanted to get a running skirt, but couldn't find one that fit right and so i decided i'd run in my comfy nike shorts. i may also have to sport some black gloves if the morning is really chilly. i remember last year is was about 40 degrees at the start. so they may be necessary :) tell me what you think?

i've also been studying the course map incessently. just trying to figure out where the water stops will be, and looks like they have TONS of porta-potties on the course, just in case :) i tried to post the course map, but blogger is being mean :) so here is the link. i ran this morning after the kids left for school, so i could soak up some sun, but didn't plan on it being so warm. why is it 94 degrees in october?
